Roy Rogers Meets Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

For the past couple of weeks, I've been talking about how the Culture Clash Collection is an ethnic blending of different cultures and aesthetics and I think the little top I want to show you today is a perfect example. The Mimosa Rodeo tee is an unexpected mixing of the American West and the Far East. It's Roy Rogers meets Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - classic rodeo styling like the:

pearl snap front,

western yokes,

and arrow-tipped smiley pockets

saddle nicely beside Eastern graphics like the:

Chinese dragon,

lucky lanterns,

and mimosa blossoms.

I think the vibrant colors and the unexpectedness of the Asian inspired graphics make this little rodeo shirt fresh and fun. It also has great timing; perfectly on cue for rodeo season and for Chinese New Year.

Happy Chinese New Year, Y'all and Let'er Buck!

side note:In case you are wondering what the Chinese calligraphy means, here it is: (top to bottom)

Jesus is LORD

I love her hair in the first photo! The shirt is very fun…would be fun to wear to a rodeo tomorrow for the Chinese New Year. if there is such a thing happening somewhere tomorrow. Also, a side note sorta in keeping with your Culture Clash collection: my hubby and I have started a new experimental cuisine we call Asia-Mex where we blend the 2 cultures in our dinners. Think guacamole made with edamame and avocado. Or soy sauce and chipotle peppers. Yummy. Now I’m realizing I need to be wearing one of these tees while eating these meals…very Asia-(Tex)Mex!
